How often do you say yes to everyone else — and leave yourself for last?

In this episode of Unstoppable Success, Jaclyn Strominger sits down with Pearl Chiarenza, creator of the SHERO Method and founder of Women’s Successful Living, for a powerful conversation about boundaries, self-care, joy, grief, relationships, and living with purpose.

Pearl shares the moment she realized that years of motherhood, volunteering, and taking care of everyone around her had pushed her own needs to the bottom of the list. She explains how a surprisingly simple object — a rock — became part of her practice for learning to say no, protecting her energy, and finally saying yes to herself.

They also explore why creating a Joy List can help you reconnect with who you are, how loss reshaped Pearl’s perspective on life and legacy, and why meaningful relationships and community are essential to success. Pearl also introduces the SHERO concept — Strong, Happy, Empowered, Radiant, and Original — and the importance of creating space for self-discovery before life forces you to.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stretched too thin, guilty for setting a boundary, disconnected from what brings them joy, or ready to make a more intentional choice about how they live and what they leave behind.

In this episode:

  • Why high-achieving women often put themselves last
  • How to begin saying no without guilt
  • The simple rock practice Pearl used to strengthen her boundaries
  • Why everyone needs a Joy List
  • How grief can clarify purpose and legacy
